Chapter 2 Stocking Up Supplies 1



My parents own more than a dozen houses, two villas, and more than a dozen shops. In addition to two large supermarkets, there are also several smaller supermarkets. Only three of them are shops they bought themselves.

Decades ago, both my grandparents' house was demolished. With the support of both families, Jiang Mengxue's parents used the demolition money to buy several more houses before house prices rose.

Later, several more houses were demolished, and they had more and more houses and divided a lot of money. The couple relied on these demolition funds to do business later.

It can be said that I have caught up with a good era and my family conditions are also good.

Jiang Mengxue plans to close everything, sell what should be sold and buy what should be bought.

I would rather lower the price a little and sell it as soon as possible.

Jiang Mengxue has saved millions of pocket money over the years since she was a child. These are all the living expenses given by her parents, or the red envelopes during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. As their only daughter, they already feel guilty for not spending enough time with her, so they are even more generous when giving her money.

When my parents passed away, they left nearly 80 million yuan in their card, and my grandfather also had more than 6 million yuan in his card. In addition, when my parents died in a car accident, the various large insurance compensations I bought totaled more than 20 million yuan.

I don’t know what the two of them are thinking, but they buy some insurance every year, so the compensation for car accidents is not small.

Jiang Mengxue's parents invested most of their money in supermarkets and real estate in their early years, otherwise they would have left more than tens of millions.

Jiang Mengxue has saved about 30 million in the past few years. Jiang Mengxue does not have such big ambitions. She is not worried about food and drink with her existing assets, so she has not thought about investing too much. Putting all the money in the bank and earning interest is enough for her.

Now we have more than 100 million yuan in cash available, which is enough for the preparation of supplies. There are a lot of goods from many supermarkets, and they are relatively complete.

The supermarket still has a lot of money in its account, but there are still payments to be made for goods.

The supermarket's finances are managed by a dedicated person, and she doesn't want to do anything unethical, so she plans to settle all the payments soon so that she can feel more at ease.

I contacted the supplier I had been cooperating with, and after both sides reconciled the accounts, I settled all the previous payments first and agreed to send the order form for the incoming goods later.

The sudden request to settle the bill scared the other party, who thought they wanted to change partners. However, Jiang Mengxue didn't say much, and just said that the supermarket needed to be rectified, so they needed to sort out the accounts. She didn't mention closing the store, after all, they would still be needed later.

The advantage of supermarkets is that they have a wide range of items. Many items are newly arrived every day, and they have more long-lasting items in stock.

So Jiang Mengxue planned to buy more of the things she used frequently, since money would always bring her many things.

It may be that Jiang Mengxue has a storage awareness engraved in her bones. She has to buy two bowls for every bowl of rice she usually eats. Even if she can't finish it, she can't miss a bite, so she usually has the habit of storing things.

Use a pen and paper to record what to buy next and how to deal with the assets in hand.

Start taking note of what you see at the entrance of the supermarket, write down everything you need to buy, and then buy according to the list to avoid any mistakes or omissions.

The first thing is food, of course the more you prepare the better.

For people nowadays, a family may only eat 300 kilograms of rice and flour a year. After all, there are abundant side dishes and less staple food.

But in an era when supplementary foods were relatively scarce, people usually relied mainly on staple foods, so 300 kilograms was relatively not enough.

Therefore, you should prepare more staple foods so that you never go hungry.

Thinking about the era in my dreams, I have to prepare supplies for twenty or thirty years just to be on the safe side.

And maybe you will get married and have children in the future, so it is impossible to prepare only for yourself, so prepare as much as possible.

There are 5,000 bags of rice and 10,000 bags of flour, all packed in 50-kilogram bags. Together, they weigh several hundred tons, enough to feed dozens of people for 20 to 30 years.

Jiang Mengxue's family eats a lot of noodles, and there are many ways to cook them, so I bought some extra flour.

There are also 5,000 bags of coarse grains such as glutinous rice, corn kernels, sorghum rice, peanuts, millet, dark flour, buckwheat, wheat bran, red beans, yellow beans, mung beans, black beans, coix seed, etc.

Thousands of bags of corn flour, sweet potato flour, sorghum flour, buckwheat flour, and glutinous rice flour were also ordered.

We also need 500 bags of white sesame seeds, black sesame seeds, and various beans used in the eight-treasure porridge, each weighing 20 kilograms.

After roughly calculating the price, Jiang Mengxue decided to purchase the goods directly from the grain factory to prevent the middlemen from making a profit. Every penny saved is a penny earned.

I used the navigation system to go to the nearest grain processing plant, went in to learn about the types and prices, and took out a certificate from the supermarket. The price was lowered again, but in the end I still spent several million.

I had learned about this factory before coming here. They produce high-quality rice, and Jiang Mengxue ordered some of the best-tasting varieties on the market.

There is no need for the factory to do any bleaching processing. The grain collected from the countryside can be directly peeled and bagged to ensure the original taste as much as possible.

And the processed wheat bran should also be kept in case it is useful in the future.

Jiang Mengxue's requirements were very low, and she tried to save costs as much as possible. The boss was also very happy and only accepted a deposit of 500,000 yuan from Jiang Mengxue. After that, the factory prepared the goods and sent them directly to the supermarket warehouse.

I rushed to the supermarket and put away all the things in the warehouse, and also put the meat, vegetables, fruits and other things that could not be placed in the supermarket into the space first.

Now that we have rice and flour, we need to buy oil. To be honest, most of the food and daily necessities sold on the market contain some high-tech ingredients, just for the sake of shelf life or good color.

So Jiang Mengxue decided to buy soybeans, peanuts, rapeseed, sesame seeds, and walnuts for her own food and send them to the oil press for processing.

The oil residue left over from the oil press is also kept. This can be eaten or used as feed. In short, it is not wasted.

It was clearly stated that nothing needed to be added. The squeezed oil was packed in 20-jin and 40-jin oil barrels. Zuo Mengxue was afraid that they were too heavy and she could not lift them.

I thought about placing an order to buy a lot of two-kilogram, five-kilogram, and ten-kilogram oil drums so that they can be used later.

More preparations were needed for clothes. Jiang Mengxue didn't know much about fabrics, so she directly contacted the merchants she had been cooperating with and roughly told them her needs.

He said that he had a friend who was doing costume design on a film crew and needed clothes and fabrics from the 1960s and 1970s that were sturdy and durable and in line with the characteristics of the era.

Such as making short-sleeved shirts in summer, coats and jackets in spring and autumn, woolen fabrics for overcoats, cotton-padded jackets in winter, various wool yarns, blankets and so on.

Ready-made shoes also need to be prepared, clothes that are suitable for that era, for men, women, young and old, and of course, the fabric is the most important thing.

Let the other party take a look and pay a deposit of 200,000 yuan.

The boss introduced a quilt manufacturer and ordered quilts weighing two to twelve or fourteen kilograms. They come in all sizes, from as small as one meter and two meters to as large as two meters, three meters, and four meters. These have to be specially made.

There are also down quilts, silk quilts, soybean quilts, wool quilts, and goose down quilts.

Not only quilts, but also compressed cotton, down, silk and goose down, etc. were bought in large quantities, so that I can make quilts and cotton-padded jackets myself in the future.
